Goregous

It is a really beautiful day. It's warm, not even the slightest bit crisp; the trees are red and gold. And I am in the library, next to a fellow who is chewing on his pen. (Chewing is being kind. The act is really more like gnawing, as though he were trying to get at the ink. Really, fellah? I think they make tastier things to chew on. It's called gum. Try it some time.) But, it's okay that I'm in the library because I was out all day yesterday cavorting with Mom and Dad, who very sweetly made a trip down here just to see me. We went wine tasting (who knew there was wine tasting so close to where I lived?) and Mom insisted and buying me a bottle of each wine that I liked. Really, she twisted my arm. :)

Now back to my Crim Law outline. At least I can see the goregousness through the window...

Medical Malpro

I seem to have developed a reputation as "the Torts Lady", both because of my work at the firm and because of my vehement defense of the tactics of personal injury plaintiffs attorneys, particularly in medical malpractice cases. I constantly find myself in the minority in that respect.

Ooh, free pizza in the student lounge! Must run! DIVE DIVE DIVE!!!

Library

I'm in the library right now. There is no earthly reason I should not be studying, but I'm justifying this to myself as down time after a weekend of studying. I started another study group with my guy friend Josh where we go to a different restaurant every week and study Civil Procedure. I actually have a guy friend - this is a change for me. He has a long distance girlfriend -- it takes the pressure off, neither of us has to worry about any girl-guy tension as we're both in relationships.

Okay, it really is time now.
